clear headlights ?

About to clear my headlights, does anyone know where I can purchase the clear reflector to put in place of the orange one which is in the headlight currently. Thanks!

i believe u can use a bicycle reflector inplace of a clear diffuser. just heat up the plastic so that it is maleable and then curve it a lil bit to fit in the slot of the amber diffuser that you removed.

Wait, I didn't know you are supposed to put in a clear reflector on after you remove the orange reflector. What does the clear reflector do?

You don't have to replace the orange reflector with the clear one. I think it looks better with it on but don't want to spend the $82 to get them.

With or without it is fine. I think it'll look more stock if you had it but it still looks hot without like nym31mp said

u make it...i'll buy it.

i want open them up again and black them out.
but i really want to put a clear diffuser there.
then a set of those cool chromed, titanium amber lights(or whatever..).

i was considering a piece of Lexan..
but i don't have time.

that Ricks2k site says the 99 diffusers are "planned"..
they don't answer email or phone.

lets see what you can make!..

show me a pic...

i cleared my lights, had those titanium amber lights but i decided to switch to hyper whites. Bought some PIAA's 1157 and 194 for the side marker. the 194 works great but there is a yellow tint for the 1157, anyone know if the glass for the turning signal is tinted to shine yellow? going to go exchange the bulbs today, wodnering if I should just go back to Amber if i can't get it all clear
